Be my Valentine


Our Valentine's Menu is up!

The Red Hot mocha is made with cinnamon candies to give your drink an extra spark.

Caramel Sutra Mocha is made with creamy Caramel and sinful Cinnamon syrups. Real dark chocolate melted into the velvety milk adds just enough richness that makes this mocha a delectable delight.

Rose steamer. Think you can handle this? It's a steamer with a Middle Eastern twist. Imported Rose syrup steamed with milk turns into a thick sweet floral drink. No caffeine. Lots of calcium.

Chocolate covered strawberry smoothie. Take a 100% crushed fruit smoothie. Add chunks of dark chocolate. Blend. Chocolate. Strawberries. It's the best of Valentine's day in one 16oz cup.

Raspberry Mocha. Go traditional. It's a drink reminiscent of those raspberry-filled chocolates that come in the sampler box you give to your honey. Sweet. Fruity. Very Berry-y.

Bring your sweetheart into Wildfire Coffee Roasters for a sweet treat.

Did you hear?

We have a new President now.

President Barack Obama's inauguration happened during business hours and since we do not have a tv here, we did the next best thing.

We set up a Mac and streamed it live!

A crowd gathered for the momentous occasion.

Our regulars know Wildfire Coffee Roasters is usually a politics-free zone to avoid the inevitable sniping that comes with this volatile topic. We want everyone to get along.

But no matter what your political leanings, I think everyone can at least agree that this was one historical inauguration that shouldn't be missed. So we made sure everyone could watch the oath and his inaugural address to the country.

Good luck to President Obama.. he has a tough job ahead!

The Fix is in

Tell me this hasn't happened to you.

You're casually sipping on a silky English Toffee Latte after a relaxing lunch away from the office. Suddenly you remember you have a 1:30 meeting with a client! Yikes. You gulp down the drink in no time. But now you have to worry about stinky-sugary-coffee-lunch breath. Tasty.

Good thing you grabbed a box of Oral Fixation Mints while ordering your coffee at Wildfire Coffee Roasters.

Now available for your EnjoyMint:

7 Deadly Cinnamon
Fabulous Fruit
Classical Peppermint


The nifty mints are nicely packaged in a swanky reusable tin. So grab a box and save your clients from catching a whiff of your foul mouth.

Flavors subject to change based on our whim.

Hot Chocolate buzz

We got an elusive mention in the San Antonio Express-News!!

They listed Wildfire Coffee Roasters as one of THE places to go for the best Hot Chocolate in the city.

We chop up blocks of dark chocolate and melt it with the milk to create the most stunningly rich velvety hot chocolate you have ever tasted.

Ch Ch Ch Ch Changes..

We've made some changes!

As you know, we closed up shop for a few days of rest, relaxation, and remodeling. We moved a few things around and added some new stuff.

We like how everything turned out.

Out went the old loud drink cooler. And in moved a nice solo seating area perfect for people-watching.
Don't worry -
we still have cold bottled drinks in the back fridge!



Gone are the tile tables and in comes the new condiment station!
We got lucky, a scrap piece of counter top fit perfectly!




We've moved the comfy leopard print chairs back up to the front.
People walking by will instantly want to come in and to sink into them while sipping on a raspberry mocha.


Come by and check out the changes!

Yes we're still here!

We took a few days off for the New Year.

Yet, I'm a bit miffed.

We had a sign up for two weeks that stated our holiday hours. It was up for TWO WEEKS: a calendar showing which days we would be closed for the New Year.

Even after all that.. during our time off, people went next door asking what happened to us, saying things like "Did they close? They had such great coffee. What a shame. What happened? What's the story?", without even bothering to read our sign.

To be honest it hurt.

It hurt to think that people would be so quick to make the assumption that we'd closed down for good, and even wanted to know the juicy details right away.

Instead of stewing, I'll just take that as another reason for me to slow down and pay more attention to the world around me. I wonder what signs have I've missed lately?
